A rave...Catherine will undoubtedly disagree, but this year, up here on the lower end of the Hood Canal, (Olympia area) and entering the Olympic National Forest the leaves are the best I have ever witnessed and no Washingtonian needs to go to the Northeast to be amazed by blazing colors! In all my years I have never seen them like this.
Finally recd the last distribution from an estate/trust due to a deceased aunt. I think I have written about this before since the incompetent attorney spent 5 years playing around with a simple estate with a trust. During this time she made distributions to two invalid individuals and spent probably 3 years just sitting on the investment assets. Finally, one the beneficiaries got an attorney involved (thankfully a relative) and the trust attorney was reported to the state bar, the courts, and any other state agency they could find. She got her own attorney and her malpractice insurance plus her attorney resolved the issues and got the final distributions made.
I feel sorry for the two people caught up on the erroneous distributions but they only had to make restitution of $25,000 of the $75,000 each recd. The trust attorney or her malpractice insurance made up the difference.
Check is in the bank and I never have to think of it again.
Wow sweetana that is super interesting!I hope this attorney stops doing estate work.
What is worse is that Aunt Pauline took her time and money to set up a trust. In this case the administrator did not do a good or ethical job in managing the assets. My brother did a much better and faster job with my father's estate and he is not even an attorney. Both estates were similar in type of asset and in each case, no one disagreed with the distribution or fought over any assets.
I am just glad that it is over and I do not have to give it any mental space.
Wow, that's must have been such a pita! Glad it is finally all resolved.

My dept at work has meeting with the one owner I can’t stand. Anyway, new guy is working out. Owner has finally realized that the tariff stuff has been a huge burden on me. He’s been gone for much of the year. Anyway, one task is coming off my desk permanently and going to the other coworker that’s been there for 11 years. Coworker did NOT want to do it. He’s been fighting me and I’ve pushed back. He had no choice now. Finally.
Hey, East or West--it doesn't matter where a glorious fall foliage display is! Glad you enjoyed it!Originally Posted by KayLR
My "rave" is not really a rave but an admission of submission--because we're being extra careful about food with DH on chemo, I finally broke down and got a salad spinner--and I think it was rosa who told me there are collapsible ones, so that's what I got. Tried it on a few greens and it works great! And I was able find a place to store it.
So please welcome me into the Salad Spinner Fan Club!

You can always use the spinner as a draining colandar, doible use.
Good idea! Cool! I love double-use stuff.
BTW, for Kay, I saw this photo on Facebook by Higashiyama Kaii, and it's so beautiful. I just love a lot of Japanese art. The FB page I follow is Jaded in Japan.

Gorgeous, Catherine! I have a friend who just returned from a cruise to Japan. She and another woman chose to be renegade and not join the arranged tour one day, but hired a cab to drive them throughout the countryside to just see what life was like outside the city. She's so glad they did that. It was the best travel experience she's had.
I would love to see Japan but DH says no. Think he got enough Asia during the military.
